a virtual stranger While Wood was unknown to Giles, though, he *is* a pseudo-Watcher and Giles was personally acquainted with his adoptive father. While I'm still troubled by Giles' actions in LMPTM, his alliance with Wood can be seen to speak volumes about the legacy of Watcher-training on one's psychology, whether that's Giles *or* Wesley. Conspiring against Buffy's explicit wishes, then, is pretty much a purely Watcher-y thing to do.
